The Motor Pool Collection (1:35 Scale)

The Motor Pool is proud to present our own series of fully customized diecast military vehicles. Working from highly detailed drawings and using standard Minichamps bases, our artisans have handcrafted a superb collection of highly realistic replicas that rival anything on the market today. These particular vehicles feature hand-built parts and other accessories that make them unique in their own right. Best of all, each vehicle comes bundled with a handsome acrylic display case that can be stacked one on top of another for maximum viewing pleasure.

The Ausf E mounted a huge 8.8cm KwK36 L/56 cannon and featured two MG34 machine guns for close support against enemy infantry. By war's end, 1,354 vehicles had been produced, some rolling off the Wegmann assembly line.

Development of the Sd. Kfz. 7 can be traced back to a 1934 requirement for an 8-ton half-track. The vehicle first appeared in 1938 and was destined to be used mainly as the tractor for the 8.8cm flak gun. The Sd. Kfz. 7 was an extremely useful vehicle, employed both as a weapons carrier and prime mover by the Wehrmacht. They also saw service as observation and command posts for V2 rocket batteries.

The Sonderkraftfahrzeug (Sd. Kfz.) 251 half-track had its origins in the same requirement as the smaller and lighter Sd. Kfz. 250. It entered service in 1939, intended as an armored personnel carrier, which quickly became the standard means of transport for the panzergrenadiers. As it turned out, the Sd. Kfz. 251 was an especially useful vehicle, capable of keeping up with the newly formed panzer divisions and then some.

Originally developed as an anti-aircraft gun, the 8.8cm FLugzeugAbwehrKanone ("Flak") was first employed in the anti-tank gun role in 1936, when the German Condor Legion was testing out its equipment during the Spanish Civil War. Amazingly, German war planners had designed the gun as an AA weapon with a heavy cruciform platform and central fire control operation, not as a multi-purpose anti-tank gun with proper anti-tank sights.
